With that prelude out of the way, let's begin. Inside of emacs you can call up a list of potential completions by using the keyboard shortcut M-. (that’s "hit the meta key along with period", where "meta" is the Alt key for me). This applies in a wide variety of scenarios, like when completing class names or variables. If we want to ask emacs to hand us a list of potential references, then the system we want to hook into is this completions system. (This is the only time I'll assume we know wh

We are entering a golden age of robotics startups — and not just because of AI

When Seth Winterroth left his job at GE Ventures to help launch Eclipse Ventures in 2015, robotics was on his mind. Or more specifically, the number of early-stage robotics startups that were struggling to launch due to lack of interest. “These are teams that had just finished their postdocs at Waterloo, or CMU, or MIT, and were starting robotics companies, and the refrain that I continually heard from the startups was, ‘hey, we’re having a really hard time raising institutional venture capital

Mapping to the PICO-8 palette, perceptually

Mapping to the PICO-8 palette, perceptually Given a palette and an image, how would you map each pixel to a color in the palette? In this article we’ll investigate how an advanced perceptual color space (CAM16-UCS) compares to simpler alternatives. For this experiment I chose a somewhat strange cropped still from the Big Buck Bunny short and the PICO-8 fantasy console’s 16-color palette: A simple way to map pixels to palette colors is to compute the Euclidean distance between each pixel and p

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube Music is experimenting with paywalling lyrics for its free users. The company is limiting the number of free lyrics views before prompting users to upgrade to a Premium account. This move is similar to what Spotify did, a change it eventually reversed after user backlash.
